1. Solomon started strong but slowly drifted over time. Where do you see the greatest temptation in your own life to rely on self-reliance instead of dependence on God?
2. The sermon highlighted that compromise often feels reasonable in the moment. Can you think of an area where small compromises could slowly shape your heart without you noticing?
3. Solomon had wisdom, success, spiritual experiences, and a calling, yet still ended his life compromised. Why do you think spiritual experiences alone are not enough to sustain a healthy inner life?

5. As you think about finishing well, what is one habit, boundary, or posture of humility God might be inviting you to strengthen or return to?
